Manage filter option values

By default, the app displays all filter option values on the filter tree. Throughout this article, we will guide you on how to showcase specific filter option values. We provide two methods:

• Select filter option values manually
• Select filter option values by value prefix

Note: Below are differences between the All values vs Selected values columns.

– All values: The list of available option values (taken from your existing product data).

– Selected values: The list of filter option values will appear in the filter sidebar for customers to filter.
